8 is Great!


Our tradition on the 8th is to put the star on the tree, so we did that last night. It seems like a lot of build-up waiting until the 8th to put it on and then up it goes and we're done, just like that. So I think next year we're going to modify our little tradition to make it more exciting! Either way, our star is up and our tree is finally complete.

Yesterday, the 8th, also concluded the semester! Ah, it feels so good to be done and to know that all that is left is student teaching. We had our meeting last night to learn about our requirements. I am really excited/anxious/nervous/ready to start student teaching. My first placement in January will be my special ed placement. After 40 school days, I will move to a 3rd grade classroom to finish out my last 40 school days.

I don't think I will ever get used to Indiana weather, although I don't feel bad about it, because I don't think the people that grew up here can get used to it either. In the last week it has been rainy, snowy, sleety, and sunny. It has been absolutely freezing cold and then sweatshirt comfortable. It's raining now...we'll see what tomorrow brings.

I went up to Bouncertown with the Toppes last Friday. We met Jill and her girls up there. Lucas and Abby were so cute running around together. When we left, they gave each other a big hug and kiss. It's too sweet to see them together.

Not much else to report. My school break will probably consist of cleaning and organizing the house and subbing when I can. Oh, and relaxing. ;)
